Step 2. Specify IAM Role Name and Template Format

At the IAM Role Settings step of the wizard, specify the following settings:

  1. In the AWS role name field, specify a name that will be assigned to the IAM role in AWS.
  2. Use the Template format drop-down list to choose whether you want the template to be exported to a CloudFormation template or a JSON policy document:
  • Select the CloudFormation option to export the created template to a .CFORM file. You can further upload the file to the CloudFormation service and use it to create the necessary IAM role automatically, as described in AWS Documentation.
  • Select the JSON option to export the created template to a .JSON file. You can further use the file to create IAM policies in the IAM console and attach the policies to the necessary IAM role manually, as described in Appendix A. Creating IAM Roles in AWS and Appendix B. Creating IAM Policies in AWS.
